Forum topic: Surveying "every street in Palmers Green"

If you're not a regular visitor to Palmers Green Jewel in the North (and if not, why not?) you may have missed Sue Beard's series of reports on work done by her and others to identify "built heritage" that merits Local Listing (see this earlier report).

Part of The Market shopping parade in Green Lanes, built by Arthur SykesAs part of this grand effort to document interesting buildings, Sue has been allocated a pretty large area to survey - east of the railway line, including central Palmers Green on Green Lanes and the triangle of roads inside the boundaries of Hedge Lane and the North Circular Road.

Two other local residents - Andy Barker and Fran Carman, both of Fox Lane and District Residents' Association - have been allocated an area west of the railway line that includes the Lakes Estate).

Sue has so far published three articles in a series she calls "Every Street in Palmers Green":

• An introductory article, with information about how you can help and what features have already been recorded
• "Very ‘Voyseyish’, Mr Sykes" - about the architect behind the Natwest Bank building and the extraordinary parade of shops on the opposite side of Green Lanes (Sue has published the photographs sideways, presumably to help you look at these buildings from a new viewpoint)
• "A Warning to Heavy Traffic" - about Deadmans Bridge and the warning to "owners and persons in charge of locomotive traction engines".
